Flickr Update

[aggienaut]

   So I presently hve 7,041 photos up on flickr. If I cease paying for a paying account they'll delete 6,041 of those. I could migrate them all to google photos except then they won't be searchable and I'd kind of like most of them to remain in the public sphere. I haven't even uploaded any photos to flickr in the last two years though since facebook photos and livejournal photo hosting have both improved enough to be the more practical way to share on either of those platforms. Anyway I thought I might as well at least continue to make use of it as long as I'm paying for the paid membership, so today I uploaded my best pictures from the last 2 years, totalling I think just shy of 100 pictures. Anyway they all fit on one screen so if you fancy seeing my last two years as seen through the best pictures, click here. (: (that is to say, everything on page 1 there I just uploaded, down to the surfacing whale, which I had uploaded at the time, two years ago)


And here's, for example, a previously unposted photo of Cristina and I (:

I'd stick with Flickr. Still a great service.

Hoping for more joyous photos of you and Cristina in the not too distant future!

I’ve missed news. Did you guys get married?

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. Glad they got out from under Yahoo, to the degree that Yahoo made changes they were always for the worse. Looking at the views I get to things Ii post there it actually gets really good exposure, And it's all convenient and easy to handle, definitely a good service I agree (:

Me toooooo!

Thanks! (: I can't take credit for it obviously but this photographer on the boat was taking photos for people and then sold us the CD and he was actually really good for a randomly encountered photographer (:

No we were going to but Coronavirus interrupted our plans ):

One thing that's weird on flickr is the high number of groups with "post 1 comment 1" or something in their name, and the probably related posting of comments that are just like practically a stamp with a picture and "seen in X" community.

I just got a comment from the "Moderator and Sweeper" of the "Caribbean Flickr Group" that he just swept for my comments and couldn't find them, and to please leave a comment and use the provided stamp.

And like, y'all are seriously "sweeping" for the stamps? You've got nothing better to do?? It's nice to receive comments but I'd rather they were based on the merits of the photo actually inspiring a comment rather than an obligated stamp.

Sorry I just had to vent a bit about this. ahaha.
